The Clorox Company Foundation has an invitation-only application process and does not accept unsolicited proposals. Invitations will be sent to organizations that we have identified that align with our funding priorities.

For organizations that have not received funding within the last five years:

***If your organization has not received support from Clorox within the past five years, you meet current eligibility requirements and you would like to inquire about an invitation, please email cloroxfndt@eastbaycf.org, no concept paper required at the time of inquiry.****

-Community Wellness

• Racial Justice- Organizations that are working at the community level to address social determinants of health and racial equality issues.

• Youth Development/ Education- Programs that increase equity of opportunity, access and outcomes to create lasting social impact.

• Sustainability- Organizations that focus on solving environmental justice issues that disproportionately impact urban areas and communities of color.

-Disease Prevention

After a concept paper has been received, it is reviewed by a committee of the foundation who will conduct a thorough analysis. Within one month of your email submission, you will receive an email from us with follow-up questions and/or the status of your concept paper. If we decide to move forward, the next phase typically includes a conference call and a site visit for first-time grantees.

These programs are administered independently and generally serve nonprofit organizations within a 3- to 5-mile radius of these facilities.
